Setup

Three steps. About two minutes.

1
Install ClawLink
Add the plugin to your agent once.
2
Connect Linear
One-click hosted OAuth in the dashboard.
3
Use it from chat
Ask your agent in plain English.

Linear uses OAuth. You connect it in the browser: click Connect, sign in, approve. ClawLink stores the token and refreshes it on its own. You never touch a key or wire up a redirect URL.

bash

$npx -y @useclawlink/cli login
$npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect linear

Run these in your terminal. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink; the second opens a browser to authorize Linear. No API keys to create or paste. Works with any agent that runs shell commands: OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and more.

Use cases

What you can do with Linear from chat

Work without tab-switching

Pull up Linear issues, repos, tasks, or alerts without leaving the conversation.

Ship the routine stuff faster

The agent grabs Linear context, drafts the next step, and runs the common maintenance actions.

Debug with real data

Ask for the current state from Linear before the agent suggests a fix. No guessing.

ClawLink vs DIY

Building the Linear integration yourself, or hosting it?

DIY

ClawLink

Connection

Build it yourself. You register a developer app with Linear, set up redirect URLs, handle the consent screen, store and refresh access tokens, and redo the wiring when scopes change.

Hosted hosted OAuth. Connect once in the browser. ClawLink owns the lifecycle.

Maintenance

Token refresh, permission debugging, env config, every edge case. All yours.

ClawLink handles the plumbing. You focus on the workflow.

Time to first call

Days to weeks. Auth, storage, tool wiring, testing. Then the agent can act.

About two minutes from sign-up to the agent calling Linear.

FAQ

Quick questions

How do I connect Linear to my AI agent?

Install ClawLink, open the dashboard, click Connect next to Linear, and finish the hosted OAuth flow. Your agent can call Linear from the next message. Two minutes, total.

Is there a Linear MCP server I can use?

Yes. ClawLink exposes Linear as 12 tools your agent calls through a hosted MCP-compatible runtime. You don't run a local server or edit a config file. The tools are there the moment you connect.

Do I need Linear API credentials?

No separate API key. You sign in to Linear through the normal OAuth flow and ClawLink handles the token after that.

How much does it cost?

Your first integration is free, plus a 14-day trial of the full catalog. Paid plans unlock the rest of the library.

Can I set this up from the terminal instead of the dashboard?

Yes. Run npx -y @useclawlink/cli login, then npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect linear. The first opens a browser to sign in to ClawLink. The second opens a browser to authorize Linear. No API keys to create. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that runs shell commands.
